2 Responses to MSG, High Fructose Corn Syrup, etc

The most widely used varieties of high-fructose corn syrup are: HFCS 55 (mostly used in soft drinks), approximately 55% fructose and 42% glucose; and HFCS 42 (used in many foods and baked goods), approximately 42% fructose and 53% glucose. There is only one difference between HFCS and sucrose (white table sugar):
Sucrose is a disaccharide molecule which means it is two smaller molecules combined together to make one larger molecule. During digestion, the larger sucrose molecule is split into its two smaller molecules – fructose and glucose. HFCS is a mixture of 2 monosaccharides – fructose and glucose.
